While Juventus is in dire need of a left-back, the team could also use a new right-back.
Juan Cuadrado has failed to impress this season and Mattia De Sciglio is not convincing. While Danilo is deservedly Max Allegri’s preferred option, the Brazilian’s future could lie in a more central role.
Therefore, the Bianconeri search the market for a new right-back and come across the name of Diogo Dalot.
The Portuguese has been a regular in Manchester United’s starting eleven this season, but his contract will expire in 2023, although he has an option for another year according to Transfermarkt.
However, the Italians will apparently face some competition in their attempts to bring the former Milan loanee back to Serie A.
According to Sport via Calciomercato, Barcelona are also interested in Dalot’s services and will offer tough competition to Juventus.
The 23-year-old started his career at Porto before moving to Old Trafford in 2018.
He initially struggled for playing time and spent the 2020/21 campaign on loan at Milan, but has now managed to win the trust of new Red Devil manager Erik ten Hag.
Juve FC says
Young, talented, versatile and potentially free. It’s easy to see why Juventus are hot on Dalot.
But with other top clubs like Barcelona vying for his signature, the mission can be tricky, especially if the Bianconeri fail to make it to the Champions League, which is becoming a plausible scenario with each passing week.
